Dear all, A new release of the Xiph QuickTime Components ( http://xiph.org/quicktime/ ) is finally out! The most noteworthy features in 0.1.7 are: ability to produce Oggs, 5.1 support, progressive loading and simplified installation. More details can be found in the release notes: http://xiph.org/quicktime/release_notes.html Also, a reminder for students: with the Google Summer of Code student application deadline extended to March 26th (26th/27th midnight UTC) there is still enough time to prepare a good application and there are some XiphQT-related ideas. Speex and FLAC encoding support would be good to have (podcasts?, high-quality content?) but other functionality like OggSkeleton or CMML support could be useful, as well. I guess, any Xiph.Org SoC project will have positive impact on XiphQT this way or another, so if you still hesitate for some reasons - don't! The Xiph.Org SoC project ideas can be found at: http://wiki.xiph.org/Summer_of_Code Regards, Arek
